The article is out, and it looked good although was quite fluffy. Here’s a scan of it…
Feel free to download it — it expands quite nicely… the scan is 60% of actual size, so there’s plenty of res for zooming in.
I also got a DVD of my interview for The Ellen B Show on URTV… LOL no I’m not going to upload that. I haven’t even watched it yet… but have sent a copy to my parents, along with the original newspaper article above. Hey, any PR, ya know?
Thursday’s meeting of Asheville Homeless Network was pretty good, nice and short and simple.
Marc Schechtman should be back in town Monday, although he’s doing more of a tour of the East Coast to drum up support for our HomeYes Products program.
Always good to get something positive here. Life ain’t bad. Just scary sometimes with the debt problem.
UPDATE: I just got bad news, which turned into good news. My lease renewal came in, with my rent going up from $585 to $605. I called my housing coordinator, and she told me they just got the new HUD guidelines. Under the old lease, HUD would only cover $543, so I had to pay $42 above my subsidized rent to keep the apartment. Under the new HUD guidelines, they pay up to $609… so in short, my rent just went up and down at the same time.
Hugs,

Oh, you’re in Asheville? I saw on 20/20 last night that it was named by some author as the happiest city in America. Interesting.Our rent went up by 10% last year, which really ticked me off! Sure, 1 or 2%, but 10%? And it’s going to go up quite a bit again this year too. Craziness. I’m glad it seems to be working out for you.Have a nice weekend!
